Letters Patent No. 61,342, dated Jauuary, 1867.

CAST yIRON GHIMNEY.

T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, DAVID JUNE, of Fremont, in the county of Sandusky, and Stato of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful improvements in the mode of constructing Chimneys; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a front view of the chimney fiue.

Figure 2 is a side view of the same.

Figure 3 is a vertical section.

Figure 4 is a transverse section in the direction of the lino x x.

Like letters refer to like parts in the different views.

A, iig. 1, is the fire-place, of which B B is the chimney or iue. rIhis is constructed of cast iron and in sections, there being as many sections as there are stories in the building, one section reaching from the door to the ceiling of each story, and connected to .each other in the manner as will be hereafter shown. '.lhis chimney is made in two parts, C C', hg. 2, each part being made to curve outward, forming the arc of a circle, and when brought together form a iue of an `:val shape, as shown in iig. 4. D, figs. 3, 1, and 4, are flanges, by means of which the two parts of the flue are bolted or otherwise secured. E are enlargements of the ue making within the same a cavity, F, fig. 3, the purposes of which will hereafter be shown. G are registers, and II stove-pipe holes.

The manner of erecting the chimneys in place is as follows: The two part-s of the lower section B, which are-in length the height of the room, are first secured together by the flanges referred to. It will be seen that the flanges do not touch each other when thus bolted together, but that there is a space between the two, whereas the edges of the two parts of the liuc touch, making a close joint. When the two arc thus properly secured, it is raised and placed in position, the lower end resting upon 'the hearth or foundation prepared; tbc upper end reaching to the ceiling, so that the shoulder made by the enlargement of the flue above described may be close to thejoints or work composing the upper ooring I, iig. 1, and through which the end of the iiue is mafie t0 pass. The section B is then slipped over thc end of section B, the end of which being enlarged by a boss, J, for that purpose, thus making a secure lapping ljoint, as shown in i'ig. 3. Immediately above the boss is a cavity, K, the purpose of which is the same as the cavities F above referred to. When the chimney has been raised to the desired height in the man'ncr described, it is then bricked in in any such way as the position of thc chimney and the nature of the circumstances therewith connected shall determine, the face of the ue being left open i-n the room, as shown in g. 1, in which L represents the brick-work or the position of the rooms, and I the ceiling or the hearth of the chamber {irc-place. The space between the flanges may be' filled up with n course of brick, and thereby give additional strength and security to the work. The purpose of the several cavities above described is to serve as a compensating measure to moet the contraction and expansion of the chimney. The relative position of the lire-places, cavities, flue, and joints is fully shown in iig. 3. It will be seen that this chimney is erected entirely free or independent of the partition or other parts of the building, so that its expansion and contraction can in no way affect the partition walls by cracking or otherwise injuring them. The ends of thc several sections do not abut against each other, but the connection is such as to leave a short space between them, as indicated by the dotted lilies a, iig. 1, in order to allow for the expansion of the chimney` which space and the caifities above described render -it entirely safe in this particular. The chimney being constructed of iron, which readily absorbs and radiates a large amount of heat, it therefore warms the rooms, and more especially the upper ones, much more than the chimneys constructed of brick in the ordinary way,

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is I The section B, in two parts C C', with cavitiesE E, in combination with sect-ion B', in two parts, constructed and arranged together as and for the purpose herein described.

DAVID JUNE.
